What NOT to leave in your car when it's super cold

A frozen laptop could lose all of your data, weaken the battery significantly, and ruin the LCD screen.

Leaving your pet in the car, is comparable to the dangers of leaving your child in the car.

A car can act like a refrigerator in cold temperatures, locking in the cold and freezing your favorite pet to death.

While a cool, dry place is recommended for medical storage, a cold or freezing space can weaken a medicine's properties.

Insulin can lose its effectiveness due to freezing conditions. Other medications that need to be shaken can be damaged as well. Why? Because temperature can alter healing properties within proteins and hormones making the medicines ineffective.

Smart phones, regardless of their brand, are typically intended to function properly in 32 degrees to 95 degrees climates.

Most phones experience difficulties such as their batteries dying when put to simple use. In a recent study, the Galaxy S II outlasted Nokia touchscreen devices.

Water, soda, juice and coffee will begin to freeze when the temperature drops below 32 degrees.

A frozen liquid that exceeds the containers capacity, thus creating a rupture, will result in quite a mess.

Cold weather can put strain on a guitar's neck and strings.

Loosen the guitar's strings before it gets cold to release tension.
